If you had the opportunity of developing a conceptual framework for an EUR50 million development programme designed to help create jobs, boost incomes, reduce poverty and improve livelihood conditions in the vast and rural region of Sindh Province in Pakistan, how would you do it?
In this DPU Dialogues in Development we offer an overview of how the United Nations Industrial Organisation (UNIDO) is responding to this question with the support of UrbanEmerge Consultants. DPU alumnus Nima Bahramalian, who leads the UNIDO project, will be in conversation with Dr. Naji Makarem (Associate Professor and joint programme leader of DPU's MSc Urban Economic Development) and Babar Mumtaz (former DPU Director). The dialogue will be chaired by DPU's Prof. Julio D. Dávila.
Poverty Alleviation and Inclusive Development across Rural Sindh (PAIDAR) is a five-year programme funded by the EU to support the Government of Sindh in implementation of its Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS). The long-term objective of PAIDAR is to contribute to sustainable poverty reduction and improvement of livelihoods of poor women, men and young people across Sindh province.
We look forward to your feedback on our conceptual framework and if you have any ideas or experiences addressing the world’s most critical social challenges in poverty-stricken rural contexts we would love to learn from you and connect on the day. We will be offering nibbles and refreshments following the event.
